Salam love,
I want to tell you guys a story about my friend and I (un)fortunate Sunday. This was the most valuable experience that I've ever learn this year but in the hard way. The story was so long that I have to make it into two parts. So, this is the first part.
Part 1
Last Sunday, my friend and I went for weekend shopping. Initially, we planned to go to Paradigm Mall because I wanted to buy this makeup palette from Sephora (Colour Festival Blockbuster). I saw it from instagram and I really want to buy it. So when my friend asked me to hang out, I immediately agreed. My friend picked me up at home. Before we went to Paradigm Mall, she wanted to go to this nasi kukus restaurant in Shah Alam.
On the way to Shah Alam, there was nothing suspicious happened. Then, when we reached Seksyen 7, I noticed that was smoke coming out of my friend's car. At first I thought because it was raining and the smoke was just vapour. Then her aircond started to get warmer (I also thought she just lowered the temperature due to rain). I just ignore those OBVIOUS signs.
Right after we reached the nasi kukus restaurant, while we were looking for parking, her car suddenly stopped. Yes, just stop in the MIDDLE of the road. We started to panic. Luckily there was no car behind us. She tried to start the engine but nothing happened. We tried to open the front hood but it didn't work (to be honest, neither of us had ever open the front hood before). We tried to calm ourselves since we were adult. Then we got back to the car and tried to start the engine. Alhamdulillah, it worked. We parked the car then we went straight to the restaurant. I noticed that the car's temperature level pointed to the highest level.
We thought that maybe the water tank (I don't know the exact term) may be leaking. So, we went straight to the restaurant to eat and at the same time to let the car cool down. This was the first time ever I tried nasi kukus in my life. Actually, I don't understand the fascination of nasi kukus. To me, it just rice cooked with different method (steam instead of boil it). Nothing else.

After we finished our meal, about 45 minutes later, we went back to the car. The car started normally and we noticed that the temperature had went down. So, we decided to continue our journey. Instead of going to Paradigm Mall, we decided to go to Sunway Pyramid. Unfortunately, the car was not really in the good condition. It was not moving fast even though my friend had push the pedal hard. It moved really slow like 30 km per hour.
Both of us felt uneasy so we decided to go to the nearest petrol station to ask someone to check the engine. When we arrived at Shell, my friend asked the worker to open the front hood. To our surprise, there was NO cover on the water tank. I saw the cover on the car battery. We were utterly shocked. No wonder the temperature went like crazy!!! Then my friend told me that her father checked her car before she went out. Maybe he forgot to put the cover back.
Because we both didn't know much about car, we asked the worker to fill the tank with water immediately. Well, it was another mistake. Right after he poured some water into the tank, the steam went out like crazy. He poured more water until the tank was full. Then she started her car. We saw smoke still coming out of the car so we changed our plan. We let the car to cool down and we went to the nearest McDonald to rest.
We waited for half an hour before we head back to the car. When my friend started her car, there was no smoke or steam coming out of the car. We checked the temperature and it wasn't that high. So thought the car was good already. But we could never been wrong....
